you pack the national mall, there's the event that pbs does every year, fireworks over the national monument. if you've never done it, it's worth doing, it's very stirring. i wonder what your opinion is of this split-screen evening that we're having. instead of one big event, you have one event on the south side of the white house and then another event near the north side of the white house with two very different tones. >> well, and certainly on top of it you have a president that has attempted to make the 4th of july his. you know, we had last year him speaking from the lincoln memorial. there is certainly this sense that he believes patriotism mean his presidency. i think one of the other things that is really disturbing about where we are at the moment is that both his speech last night and the speech today, we're not seeing social distancing, we're not seeing people wearing masks. we're not seeing the president reinforcing the importance of this. so while he talks about protecting monuments, he is not protecting the people, not even those who consider themselves his supporters. >> doct

i don't know if you you can see down the national mall how big of an area it is.ou're right, it's quite large. nbc is reporting that the administration is sort of changing its view on messaging as relates to the coronavirus. in their words the messaging now is we're going to have to learn to live with it, some people are going to decide to stay home, others are going to decide to be outdoors as we're seeing and others decide it's safe to go into restaurants. is this kind of part of that idea, take whatever precautions we can and let people decide for themselves? >> i'm not sure about the messaging issue you raised, but i can tell you this for sure, a key component of deciding what to do for all individuals should be an element of personal responsibility. if you are someone that's infirm or has a highly vulnerable condition, my view would be, you should maybe watch the great fireworks display, which will be incredible, from your home at this point in time. we are encouraging people to social distance or wear facial coverings where they can, but there's an element o

lucas tomlinson is live on the national mall today with the latest. lucas. >> reporter: molly, over a dozen protests were planned in the nation's capital. looking around the mall right now, i don't see any. earlier today a historian posted the following question to our of viewers about why the monuments should not be torn down. >> do we destroy the coliseum in rome that was built by slaves and slaves fought and died inside the coliseum? do we let mobs with sledgehammers go into west minister abby and smash the statues of the kings and queens. the british empire had slavery until the 1830s. >> reporter: the interior secretary says he doesn't want to see any monuments ripped down on his watch. >> we are very understanding of our role as the preserver of the monuments and the guardians. we've taken bold action and the president has given bold direction to us in terms of preserving and protecting these monuments and we've built on that by requesting assistance from another number of law enforcement agencies. >> reporter: if there's any more sign of protest

traditional fireworks filled the sky over the national mall in washington just a few hours ago. is, as the national deals with a troubling surge in the virus. some people were forced to stay at home. these beaches in california, as you can see, were closed. the state is struggling with a record number of people in the hospital with the virus. meanwhile, rising cases did not keep everyone off the beaches in florida. this beach was packed, as well as others. florida is one of the nation's hot spots, reporting the most cases in a single day so far on saturday. well, here's a look at where things stand across the u.s. most states are experiencing spikes in daily infections. only one state is seeing a decline. while some people went to the beach, others spent the holiday rallying for social justice and exercising their right to protest which is at the very heart of america's democracy. u.s. president donald trump, however, blasted protesters as, quote, the radical left, anarchists and agitators. he said the country's sometimes racist past must be protected. >> we will never allow an a

some folks are packing the national mall as we mentioned. others are filling the streets nearby to protest police brutality. nbc's julia jester is among the demonstrators who joins us now. what are some of them telling you today? >> reporter: yeah, joshua, well, this is the sixth weekend of demonstrations since the death of george floyd, and though the crowd out here in d.c. today at black lives matter plaza isn't the largest we've seen, there have been several different groups protesting their own goals, their own hopes for change, whether it's at the supreme court, capitol hill or right here outside black lives matter plaza. we have various groups that, for them, 4th of july is not a celebration. it is a day of protest and reckoning of the racial injustice in america. i spoke with a few of the demonstrators who for them it's deeply personal, and this is what they told me. >> i don't really see much to celebrate in america right now. i'm not seeing what i believe this country stands for these past few years. it's repeated over and over agai

this is the national mall. president trump will host a big public celebration there tonight with music, military demonstrations, and fireworks. no need for you to go anywhere. we'll have live coverage right here for you on cnn to enjoy so you can stay safe. but the president barely mentioned the pandemic at his speech last night at mt. rushmore, where, as you can see, several thousand people sat closely together. only a few of them had masks on. this, despite the news breaking shortly before that speech that top trump campaign staffer kimberly guilfoyle tested positive for the coronavirus. she's the girlfriend of the president's son, don trump junior, and was in south dakota preparing to attend that event. elsewhere around the country right now, we have live looks. this is from ocean city, maryland. and the beach, you can see, is open, unlike in south florida and the los angeles area, beaches there are more or less off limits today. let's begin in florida, the hardest-hit state just posted 11,445 new coronaviru

backdrop against which president trump is holding another patriotic extravaganza today on the national mall in washington d.c. both the mayor of washington and various public health officials urged people not to gather in large numbers and most celebrations were canceled in towns large and small but the president was determined to go ahead with a 4th of july celebration on the national mall which he has a right to do because it is federal territory and not governed by the district of columbia and so several 1000 people are expected to gather there whether they will practice social distancing remains to be seen the president will give a speech there this following a rather dark and harsh speech he gave on friday before mount rushmore where he attacked his political rivals as bad and evil people. thank you for that update from. more than 200000 people in spain's catalonia region have been put under lockdown after a steep rise uncovered 1000 cases a number of corona virus infections there has almost doubled in a week the new measures were brought in as the rest of the country began easing rest

waiting in long drive-through lines to get tested for coronavirus, and some are gathering at the national mall for a july 4th celebration held by the president, focused on fireworks and fanfare and passing on pandemic precautions. that pandemic continues to grow in multiple states and grow faster than before. records mean little when they get broken every day. new cases, faster infections, more hospitalizations. florida reported its highest single day record today with nearly 11,500 new cases. in states across the southern and western u.s. have seen a surge. the increase in cases per capita is remarkable in some parts of the country. this week in south carolina, more than 20% of tests came back positive. that is also a record. meanwhile, president trump had been speaking on the virus pretty much daily. now he is staying on the sidelines of the white house as coronavirus response. that's apparently by design, according to a senior administration official. that has not stopped the president from tweeting his opinions. today he tried again to explain away the surge in cases as an increase in test
